Hi Gary,

If so, I would have doubts that the North American standards would allow
magnetic securement, but obviously compliance is
Hi Gary,
I have a consideration a bit different from what Doug and Mark have discussed.
My concern is that magnets inside of an electrical panel could attract foreign
objects. Loose screws, bolts or other hardware could be attracted to the
magnets resulting in reduced clearances, or in the
Gary,
That's quite an idea, and I'm generally not one to squelch innovation.
However, most of the safety standards I work with require that
accessibility is only through use of a tool. The definition of a tool is
sometimes questioned, but typically this includes keys, screwdrivers,
pliers, coins,
Hi Gary,
I would be very cautious here. Magnetic attraction can degrade over time due
to a variety of factors (thermal cycling, plating migration, corrosion,
magnetic field cycling, among others). While the appliance is stationary, what
about damage due to shock or vibration during shipping?
